A neoclassical agate cameo. Bust of a veiled man.

End of 18th century - Beginning of 19th century

16 x 21 x 3 mm

The bearded character is probably the representation of Saturn. The cameo has an unusual concave rather than convex relief, to follow the colored layers and veins of the agate. Attractive colors of the stone.
